A Link to the Past

Link's Awakening

The Spiny Beetle is also an enemy from Link's Awakening. They are known for hiding under bushes, rocks, and skulls. Often they cannot be seen until Link comes near, at which point they stand up and reveal that they have been hiding beneath the object. The Spiny Beetles under bushes can be easily killed with the sword, but for the variations with skulls or rocks, Link must first lift the object off of their back with the Power Bracelet. When their hiding place is removed or destroyed, they can be harmed.

Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons

The Spiny Beetle appears in the two Oracle games, Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. They are identical to their Link's Awakening counterparts and behave in the same manner.
